It’s that time of the year again! As bowl games roll around and NFL coaching spots heat up, speculation and rumors come crawling from everywhere. It intensifies if you’re Deion Sanders, one of the most electrifying names in football. The cold air of a jump to the pros is blowing nowadays. Ties to teams like the Dallas Cowboys or Las Vegas Raiders are on the top of that list. However, if you ask Coach Prime, the noise may seem miles away from his reality.

On the latest episode of the Pacman Jones Show, Sanders took the mic and said it in bold letters. When host Adam Pacman Jones asked him about the rumors and mentioned the Cowboys, Raiders, and even his alma mater, Florida State, Deion did not shy away from addressing the situation.”I love where I am; I am happy where I am. I can’t wait to see what the future holds where I am. I love Boulder, Colorado. I have every intention, every plan in the world to be coaching for the Colorado buffs from here on. I want to finish here. I want to put my name on the mountains out there; I want to put my flag down in Colorado.”

That pretty much clears the air, right? Sanders signed a five-year, $29.5 million deal in December 2022, and after that, he never looked back. He took over a team that went 11-1 before he joined and turned Colorado into a 9-3 powerhouse in just two seasons. What’s next for them? A holiday bowl game against BYU, where the buffs will try to cap their 10th win.

But, Deion’s brilliance aside, how can we forget his starboy Travis Hunter winning the Heisman Trophy just a few days ago? Not only that, but Shedeur has also been a standout player under Coach Prime. Both of them will probably end up at the top in the 2025 NFL draft. However, Deion Sanders has made it pretty clear that he won’t let his boys’ draft get affected at any cost.

Although Deion Sanders’s main focus remains on Colorado, his influence goes far beyond college football games, especially when it’s about his son. Not only Shedeur but Hunter as well. Not so long ago, during the speech with Keyshawn Johnson, Sanders made it pretty clear that he would intervene if he didn’t find Shedeurs’ draft process fair.

“Yes, but I’m not going to do it publicly. I’ll do it privately,” Sanders revealed. This statement is a reminder of Manning’s 2004 draft. When he refused to play for the San Diego Chargers after getting selected as No. 1 overall, forcing a trade to the New York Giants. Sanders gave an example of it.

“Somebody that can handle the quarterback that he is. Someone who can handle understanding what he’s capable of. Not just throwing you out there amongst the world, you don’t have the support in the infrastructure of the team.” Sanders, having experience in both college football and the NFL, knows the stakes, and he doesn’t want anything to happen to Shedeur or Hunter’s NFL future.
